Wow, that's quite a thought. It means that, for example, the person who placed 5th in one of the groups got 8 points in round 1 and came 6th from last in round 2, so if their groupmates had submitted scripts, they could have scored anything between 0 and what they actually got.... Maths, huh? NYC might want to consider having 'extra', discretionary places for round 2, where some of the high-scorers who didn't get through - like the person with 22pts in group 23 - can get moved on from total score rather than placing within the group. With 200 moving forward, they could have up to 10 extra places for contingencies, as that would give them 7 groups of 30 for round 2. Just a thought.

Imagine being at the bottom of this heap: 10-15 15-10 11-14 14-11 12-13 13-12

What, survival isn't enough of a trophy? Seriously, though, we're all tabula rosa the next round--which is part of the fun, at least for me.

I’m one of the 15-2 writers that advanced. Is there a trophy for the Coast & Boast award? I’d like to thank the Academy voters for this honor... No, but seriously, I have to admit that I actually did try in round 2, swear! But I deserved the 2-score. My feedback was strangely very positive, but I know where the serious flaws were. This has been so much fun this far. I’m happy to scrape by into the next round. Now I just have something to prove! |

Just another note - looking at all entrants, I see several names that have been around for awhile, and have scored in the top five consistently in the past, who didn't even make the top 15 this comp. Sort of makes you go "hmmmm"

Ties were: 11 - 6 15 - 2 2 - 15 First they pick who scored the highest in any round, which eliminated the first guy, so: 15 - 2 2 - 15 As these two were "tied" with the exact same scores, the winner is the one who scored the highest in the second competition. |

Uugghhh! This is just depressing. Having not made the top 15, I have no idea how well I did within my group, and knowing the above is sort of infuriating. Wondering if NYCM should come up with a more equitable scoring, for example, reverse the points and give everyone a score, and lowest totals advance. That way every entrant has a feel for how they placed.
